Spring Data MongoDB Repository with custom collection name

Question

I am using Spring Data for MongoDB and I need to be able to configure collection at runtime.

My repository is defined as:

@Repository
public interfac         


        

Answer 1

You can solve this problem by just using SPeL:

@Document(collection = "#{environment.getProperty('mongo.event.collection')}")
public class EventData implements Serializable {
    ...
}

Update Spring 5.x:

Since Spring 5.x or so you need an additional @ before environment:

@Document(collection = "#{@environment.getProperty('mongo.event.collection')}")
public class EventData implements Serializable {
    ...
}
